Canadian Wildfire Smoke over Atlantic Ocean | International Space Station

Expedition 74 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir shared these photos and commented: "My thoughts are with all of those affected by the Canadian wildfires. This weekend I spotted their smoke drifting out across the Atlantic Ocean (the hazy, grayer layer among the clouds seen here)."

"Stay safe, Earthlings!"
